Tamedia, a Swiss media company publishing 25 titles in French and German, has integrated AI tools into its news production process. The company's AI Lab, established in November 2023, provides 700 professionals with tools to assist in article creation, including transcription, translation, summarization, and archive consultation.
Tamedia uses four Large Language Models (LLMs) - Claude, ChatGPT, Le Chat, and Gemini - via APIs. The company has also vectorized 4.5 million articles from the last 15 years, enabling journalists to query archives using natural language.
While AI assists in various tasks, Tamedia emphasizes human oversight and responsible AI usage, ensuring data privacy and prohibiting the use of AI for generating photorealistic images.
